Teacher: Ms. Wadih
Team: Algebra 1 PAP
Students will be able to determine the x-intercept and y-intercept from graphs.
Warm up – STAAR Practice
Guided practice: Determine the x-intercept and y-intercept from graphs.
Independent practice: Identify and write as ordered pairs the x and y intercepts from graphs.
Friday
Wed/Thur
Tuesday
Students will be able to evaluate a linear function and identify the x-intercept and y-intercept.
Substitute in classroom – Ms. Wadih out of campus
Independent practice: Continue work from Monday
Students will explore changes in m on the graph of y=mx+b, including parallel and
perpendicular lines.
Warm-up – Determine the x and y intercepts of linear functions
Guided practice: Online preview of graphing calculator and exploring changes to m
Independent practice: Starburst activity – graphing lines of different slopes on the same coordinate
plane and summarizing the effects of changing the slope of a line
Students will explore changes in b on the graph of y=mx+b, including parallel and
perpendicular lines.
Warm-up – Changes in m on the graph of y=mx+b
Guided practice: Online preview of graphing calculator and exploring changes to b
Independent Practice: Railroad activity – exploring changes to the y-intercept when the slope stays
unchanged
